Dennis stared at Leonhart for a moment. Compared to Michelle's slightly flattering attitude, this head of the Adler family was much more stable and mature.
"Okay," Dennis nodded. "Since there's a reason for this matter, it's good to explain it clearly. The Mayer family won't do anything unreasonably."
After that, Michelle lowered her head in shame.
These words of Dennis mocked what she just said!
Leonhart calmly smiled and said, "The Mayer family need not worry. Our children have got their marriage certificates, so Mellisa is legally the daughter-in-law of the Adler family."
"Although this seems too hasty, my Adler family definitely won't treat her badly. Then, are these two Mellisa's parents?" Leonhart said as he looked at Richard and his wife.
Richard nodded slightly and looked directly at him. "I'm Richard, this is my wife, Janice."
"Master Richard, this is the dowry I prepared for Mellisa. Please have a look."
Leonhart said as he pulled out a brocade box from behind the chair, and when he got up and handed it to Richard, he added, "This is the sincerity of the Adler family, I hope you accept it."
Richard and Janice looked at each other for a moment. Then he stood up and took it, but he didn't open it. Instead, he placed the box on the table and extended his hand to Leonhart. "Mellisa will join the Adler family. If there is something wrong that she does, please forgive her."
Leonhart shook his hand again and looked at Melissa not far from there, and said with a gentle expression, "Mellisa… She's always been a thoughtful and well-behaved daughter. We like her very much."
Richard pursed his lips, and nodded at Leonhart meaningfully. "That's good, that's good!"
As parents, this was their first time meeting their in-laws.
Even though mistakes from the past were fixed, Lilia's marriage was still an unspeakable regret for them.
Now, it's Mellisa's turn to get married.
They both just hope they can still have the right to accompany Mellisa to celebrate this marriage as parents.
...
In less than twenty minutes, this private banquet was over.
Currently, Leonhart was sitting in the lounge, talking to the two old men.
Mellisa looked from time to time, a trace of tension floated in her eyes.
Even Leonard sat looking dazed beside her.
In the entire private banquet hall, the most relaxed was probably Andrew.
He sat at the table bored, occasionally fiddling with the dinner plates on the table.
As time passed, he looked around and kicked Leonard with the toe of his shoe. "Want to go out and have a smoke to relax?"
Leonard wanted to refuse, but he saw Jean standing up. He then nodded stiffly.
This time, he realized that marriage is not just about two people, but about two families.
After this group of three calmly left the private banquet hall, Janice, who was sitting opposite, looked at the two sisters, and finally slowly got up. She walked around the round table and sat beside them.
"Lilia, Mellisa, I haven't seen you lately, how are you two feeling? I hope you're doing well?"
As a mother, Janice still shows caution in her attitude when dealing with her two children.
Lilia and Mellisa looked at each other for a moment, then looked at her and nodded, "Very good."
Janice heaved a sigh of relief, her eyes fixed on Mellisa's face. She couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke her hair. "Mellisa, at Lilia's wedding that day, you left too hastily. I didn't have time to exchange news with you. Your friend told me everything about you while you were at the Adlers' house. You must be in a lot of pain lately, huh?"
Mellisa felt a caress on her head and smiled without any meaning. "Mom, do you think I am that weak? Martin doesn't understand the story in it, don't take him too seriously!
Janice felt her heart stung.
When she loved Leila in those years, Mellisa was just as hostile to her. She always spoke to her in such a sharp tone, as if there's some grudge behind it.
At that time, she always thought that Melissa did not like being around her, so that the relationship between this mother and daughter fell apart.
Looking back now, she just understood Mellisa's character. This kid isn't strong and stubborn, it's just that she doesn't want the elders to worry about her.
Janice's eyes reddened. She looked down and sighed, then took Lilia's hand and rubbed it on her palm. "Since you two are married, I will not stand in your way anymore. If you have time in the future, come home once in a while. If you have trouble, you can talk to me. No matter what, your father and I will always support you two."
Mellisa and Lilia looked at Janice. With such a close distance, the two of them could see the frown from the corner of her aged eyes.
Although still dignified and graceful, the charm in her eyes was far less.
After the Irwan family incident, Janice became more careful.
After a while, she took a deep look at the two of them, then got up and returned to Richard's side.
Mellisa and Lilia leaned closer, and then they looked at each other with a smile of relief from the corners of their lips.
This is probably the best result.
At this time, Michelle, who had been left speechless, stood up and pulled up a chair beside him, then came to the side of Mellisa.
A shadow falls on her head, causing Mellisa to take her gaze away involuntarily, and unexpectedly meets Michelle's gaze. She didn't say a word, only gave her a vague.
Michelle looked at Melissa condescendingly. When she stroked her skirt to sit down, she said in a low and arrogant voice, "Miss Mayer, congratulations on entering the Adler family. I'm sure you will be very happy."
Mellisa hadn't even spoken yet, but Lilia was laughing at her attitude. "Miss Michelle, do you have a bad impression of my sister?"
Lilia hardly ever had any contact with Michelle, but her appearance on the night of the banquet could be said to be unfit as the wife of the Adler family's Patriarch.
Michelle lowered her head to stroke her nails, then glanced at Lilia. "Miss Lilia, you misunderstood. As her mother-in-law, I need to always remind her of the rules in the Adlers' house."
Hearing that voice, Lilia raised her eyebrows. Michelle's inconsistent attitude made people feel disgusted when they saw her.
At this moment, Melissa patted Lilia's hand at the right moment, signaling her to remain calm.
She immediately turned her gaze to Michelle and spoke warmly, "Since that's the rule, please tell me, I'll listen."
Upon seeing this, Michelle's arrogant expression faded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Mellisa's modesty.
She cleared her throat and said shamelessly, "First, don't think that everything will be fine once you enter into the Adler family.. As the future wife of this family, apart from your family background, your other abilities are still very insufficient. "
